One of the most misused players I have ever seen dude can score in the paint as well has a sweet hook shame, MDA has ****ed him around all year.

Lakers got a lot of solid players who might not be stars, but are definitely not scrubs (which I initially thought before they played for the purple and gold).
I hope they stay with the team in the future while the Lakers get stock on talent through the draft.

his lazy ass was a big part of the reason it was a hellhole. They made him team captain. He was our go to player on offense for Wall's rookie season. He couldn't stay in shape, couldn't reign in his shot selection, and refused to prepare for games...AS CAPTAIN. At one point he was surprised by a reporter who asked him about Kevin Love shooting 3's. He didn't know Kevin Love was shooting like 5 3's a game and he was going to have to guard him that night.
WHAT THE ABSOLUTE ****! How can you be counted on to play up to a huge contract and just literally not give a ****. He used to sponsor "lap dance Tuesdays" at some strip club . One of my friends interviewed him for a class project and he showed up super baked. They went to a catered charity event and all Blatche ate was McDonalds.
He always had the ability. He's just a giant child

Michael Adams (From Washington to Denver then back to Washington) had a good 7 year stretch.
Averaged Star numbers for one season. The definition of a "One Year Wonder."
90-91 (Pretty horrible FG & 3P %'s) .880 FT%, 4 rpg, 10.5 apg, 2.2 spg, 26.5 ppg

That 1990-1991 Denver team scored 119.9 ppg....and gave up 130.8 ppg. 130!!!!!! They didn't give up less than 100 points in a game the entire season. That's why Adams has such great counting stats but that's just because the Nuggets played at by far the fastest pace in NBA history:

I thought James Harden was a scrub, he got traded, and...still waiting on him to reach the "beast" part.

Re: People you thought were scrubs only to be traded away and beast.
These are players I thought would be career losers but appear to have turned it around:
Gerald Green and Zach Randolph.
Gerald Green takes terrible shots but it doesn't seem to hurt the team. It almost seems like it's the Suns plan of attack. The are one hell of a team when Gerald Green is making shots.

I retract my Bledsoe mention, I thought he was misused on the Clippers and didn't play as well as he could.

The face palms aren't credible in either of these scenarios. Did you not watch DJ cower under the bright lights of the playoffs. During his small stint with the Raps he played more like an 11th man opposed to a back up at the 1. Neither Bird nor Ujiri should be reamed for parting ways with a guy who looked more fit to play in the D-league during his tenure at both locations.
And Lowry nor Dragic ever warranted the scrub label at any junctures in their careers.
You have a solid case for Green and DJ turning it around though...
